IF Bustimes are correct , on it's last run of the day , E017 only made it as far as Lydiate Ash. And at the time of typing this post , E017 has not been out as yet today. :cry:

I hear it has been won on a three year contract and will be operated by West Bromwich garage and the 144 will be merged with the Cotton Hacket 20 service to the QE from next month.
A West Bromwich double decker was spotted in Bromsgrove earlier in the week route learning.

Good news indeed and yes creeping closer to City Centre ;)
Am hoping to use it for the first time next week as meeting some friends in Brum one evening.Hopefully the temporary lights in Catshill will be gone by then as they are causing long delays at the moment :evil:

Well the ongoing strike scuppered that plan :evil: Had to let the train take the strain instead.
